Increase headshot multiplier

Headshots feel so weak in general. Most guns need increases on their base headshot multiplier and hollowpoint and synthetic multipliers. Assault rifles, carbines, lmgs should have their headshot multipliers set to 1.5, 2, and 2.5 for their respective ammo types (standard, hollow, synth). Dmrs should have 1.75, 2.25 and 2.75. Shotguns should have some sort of multiplier for buckshot and flachette because its dumb as hell not to give at least something. like maybe 1.2 for them. And slugs should at least be 2x like in previous games. Smgs can remain the same. They are too good for what they are right now. Please buff headshots in some way. They are so goddamn weak right now and feel almost worthless.

  • Headshot multipliers should be aimed at reducing the amount of bullets you need to kill a person. This means that you don't balance headshot multipliers based on weapon category, but weapon damage statistics. 

    A 25 damage gun needs a much higher damage multiplier than a 33.4 damage gun in order to consistently reduce the amount of bullets. This is especially true if you also factor in damage drop off.

    No you would not want to do that for guns that have low damage but are essentially laser beams. 

  • Yeah, TTK is so high now, we need it to get shorter. Like 0.1 or 0.08 second !!

    Why would you even risk going for headshots, if it doesn't shorten the time to kill?

    Ok for hollow point for smgs yeah I get it it makes no sense in their current form for certain smgs. Maybe increase hollow point to 1.65 or 1.7 and synth if theres any to 2. Smgs are by design to be laser beams for the most part and weaker than all other guns in terms of dmg per bullet. I will agree for that. But base headshot multiplier already is enough to reduce number of bullets for laser beam smgs. And for assault rifles and carbines with 20 base damage they should get a buff to 23 damage.
